62. Icteria virens. Yellow-breasted Chat. — I was somewhat sur- 
prised to find a pair of Chats near the North Adams Reservoir (altitude, 
about 1080 feet), within half a mile of Hermit Thrushes, Black-and-yellow, 
Black-throated Blue, and Canadian Warblers, and Snowbirds, at the same 
elevation.

Icteria vfrens. — An adult male was found dead near one of the poles 
upon which the storm signals are hoisted at the U. S. Signal Station at: 
Highland Light on the morning of September io. As birds frequently 
kill themselves by flying against these poles during the night, it is prob- 
able that this one was so killed during the night of the 9th or early 
morning of the 10th. There was a large migration of shore birds past 
Highland Light on the night of September 9, Phalaropus lobatus , Teta- 
nus melanoleucus , T /lavipes, and C/ia radrius dominicus being common, 
while of Actitis macularia , Calidris arenaria , and Oceanodroma leu- 
corrhoa one individual each was seen. Up to midnight, when I left the 
light, but one land bird, a Dendroica , probably D. striata , was seen.
